“There is indeed something healthy in the expression of anger. To repress grievances is certainly bad. Expression and discussion are ways of healing. Psychoanalysis re-lies precisely on this expressive function of language. To hear the anger of other people forces us to confront our wrong-doings, which is the first step towards forgiveness. We must have trust in language as a weapon against violence, in-deed the best weapon there is against violence.”
